Yep, just you.

No, for me it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's so nice to have no social obligations or expectations. On the other, I miss having places to go and things to do — e.g., taking in a community theater show or attending a symphony or going to the county fair, or even just going to the store to browse or sitting in a restaurant without concern that I'm putting myself or anyone else at risk. And I do miss the occasional, er, rare gathering of actual friends and family. I've had the benefit of maintaining a routine, though, where I go to work every day (even though I pretty much stay away from everyone), visit my girlfriend frequently, and (during the height of the shutdown in NY) was grabbing takeout frequently from local restaurants I wanted to support. Now that business has picked back up, though, I'm eating more healthily and not eating out (or getting takeout). I will be happy to see more normalcy return, though — just not all to once.

I've overdosed on solitude. I want to hear a voice that isn't electronic.

You're not alone. I've always considered myself an introvert but I've been inching towards the tipping point myself these past few weeks. I've been lucky enough to stretch my wings a bit now that I'm fully vaxxed. It feels great, but I can still find myself immersed in Tik Tok for ridiculous periods of time. Do whatever it takes to fill that void for you whether it's Tik Tok or here.

Not at all.
